In 2003 he was also handed a three-year prison sentence for burglary after a trial at Coventry Crown Court.

During the 2003 trial the court was told Peebles, who had been a heroin user, enlisted the help of an unsuspecting neighbour to help him fill the boot of his car with stolen electrical goods during a burglary.

The neighbour was told Peebles was looking after the house for his brother who was on holiday and Peebles even borrowed a dustpan to clear up the mess he had created.

The jury was told that the neighbour had stopped Peebles after he saw him walk past the front of his girlfriend’s house, in Gillquart Way, Coventry, saying he had heard glass breaking.

Peebles told him he was planning to secure the house and remove valuable items until the house was secure.
